PRIOR ART

Arrhythmias often occur as complications to cardiac diseases such as myocardial infarction and heart failure. In a serious case, arrhythmias give rise to a ventricular fibrillation to cause sudden death.

Although various antiarrythmic agents are now available on the market, those having both satisfactory effects and high safety have not been obtained yet. For example, antiarrythmic agents of Class I according to the classification of Vaughan-Williams which cause a selective inhibition of the maximum velocity of the upstroke of the action potential (Vmax) have only insufficient effects for preventing the ventricular fibrillation. In addition, they have problems regarding safety, namely, they cause a depression of the myocardial contractility and have a tendency to induce arrythmias due to an inhibition of the impulse conduction. Beta-adrenoceptor blockers and calcium antagonists which belong to Class II and IV respectively, have a defect that their effects are either limited to a certain type of arrhythmia or are unreliable, though their safety is higher than that of the antiarrhythmic agents of Class I.

Antiarrhythmic agents of Class III are drugs which cause a selective prolongation of the duration of the action potential without a significant depression of the Vmax. Although there has been no available drug which possess pure and potent properties of Class III antiarrhythmics, drugs of this class are expected to be effective in preventing ventricular fibrillations. Moreover, they are, by definition, not considered to cause a myocardial depression or an induction of arrhythmias due to the inhibition of the action potential conduction as seen with Class I antiarrhythmic agents.

Under these circumstances, the development of pure and potent antiarrhythmic agents of Class III has been awaited.

METHOD E-1

A compound in which A is --CH₂ --and B is ##STR15## is produced. A compound in which A is and B is ##STR16## is produced. This B is called Y². ##STR17##

METHOD E-2

A compound in which A is --(CH₂)₂ --and B is ##STR18## is produced below. This --A--B is called Y³. ##STR19## Each above shown step is conducted as described below in detail.

STEP 1

A sulfonanilide derivative (II) is reacted, according to the Friedel-Crafts reaction, with a reactive acid derivative such as a halogenate or anhydride of a carboxylic acid having the following formula: ##STR20## in which R' is a lower alkyl or phenyl and g and h are defined above, in the presence of a Lewis acid such as aluminum chloride, tin chloride and zinc chloride in an inert solvent such as carbon disulfide, dichloromethane, chloroform and nitrobenzene to form a corresponding anilide derivative (III).

STEP 2

The acetyl group of the compound (III) obtained in the step 1 is hydrolyzed in this step. The hydrolysis is effected in, for example, a dilute aqueous alkali solution or dilute aqueous mineral acid solution. In a preferred embodiment, the hydrolysis is effected in 2 to 6N hydrochloric acid under reflux or in a 0.5 to 3N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide under reflux.

STEP 3

(1) in case Y is other than hydrogen, that is, Y is Y'

The compound (IV) of the step 2 is normally condensed with a compound having the formula: Z-Y' (V), such as Z-A-B and ##STR21## in which Z is a group to eliminate and is a halogen such as chlorine, bromine and iodine, methansulfonyloxy and p-toluenesulfonyloxy.

In a preferred embodiment of this process, the reaction is carried out in the presence of a deacidifying agent such as potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate and potassium iodide (used when Z is not iodine) in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile, acetone, butanol, propanol, ethanol or methanol at a temperature of about 50° to 120° C. to obtain the compound (VII).

(2) A compound in which A is --(CH₂)₂ -- and B is ##STR22## is produced below. The reaction in detail is illustrated below. ##STR23##

More particularly, an unsubstituted or substituted vinylpyridine (VI) is reacted with the compound (free base) (IV) obtained in the above-mentioned step 2 or pharmacologically acceptable acid-addition salt thereof in a lower alkyl alcohol such as methanol, ethanol or propanol or a mixture thereof with water at a temperature ranging from room temperature to about 100° C. to obtain the intended compound (XXVI). When a free base is used as the starting material in this process, preferred results are obtained by using an acidic catalyst such as acetic or hydrochloric acid or an alkali metal catalyst such as sodium.

In the steps 4 to 6, the compound (VII) obtained in the step 3 is reduced to fproduce the compounds (VIII) or (IX).

STEP 4

The compound (VII) prepared in the step 3 is reduced in this step. The reduction is effected by an ordinary method wherein, for example, the compound (VII) is treated with sodium borohydride or lithium borohydride in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide at a temperature ranging from about -10° C. to room temperature to obtain the intended alcohol (VIII) of the present invention.

STEP 5

An arylketone compound (VII) is reacted with two or more equivalents of a trialkylsilane, preferably triethylsilane, in an excess of trifluoroacetic acid, at a temperature ranging from room temperature to 100° C. for several days to produce the compound (IX). Dichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, dichloromethane and acetonitrile are also used as a solvent.

STEP 6

An alcohol compound (VIII) obtained in the same way as shown in the step 4 is treated with an acid, preferably with 20% sulfuric acid-acetic acid for a short time to obtain a dehydrate and the dehydrate is catalytically hydrogenated to produce the compound (IX).

STEP 7

The compound (VII)" of the above general formula (I) wherein R³ is H is N-alkylated in this step. The compound (VII)" is reacted with an alkyl halide of the formula (X) in the presence of a base in a solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, a lower alkyl alcohol, e.g. methanol, ethanol or propanol, or acetone at a reaction temperature of about 50° to 120° C. to obtain the intended compound (XI). The bases used in this step include, for example, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, sodium ethoxide, sodium methoxide and sodium hydride.

When 2 mole equivalents or more of R³ Hal (X) is used, dialkylation, alkenylation for di-lower alkenyl and alkylation for dicycloalkyl may be carried out as far as Y is hydrogen. Similarly the step 8 of the process B can be conducted for N-alkylation.

The compound (XI) obtained is reduced in the same way as shown in the steps 4 to 6 to further obtain the compound (VIII)' or (IX)'.

STEPS 9 to 11

Each step is conducted in the same way as shown the step 5 (reduction), the step 2 (hydrolysis) and the steps 7 and 8 (alkylation).

STEP 12

A secondary amine (XVII) is converted to a tertiary amine (XXI) by the Mannich reaction. An active hydrogen-having compound, such as a furan compound, a pyrrole compound and a nitrogen-including heterocyclic compound having a methyl group, is condensed with an amine and formaldehyde or para-formaldehyde, preferably in a solvent such as water and an alcohol, under the acidic condition with acetic acid or hydrochloric acid, at a temperature ranging from room temperature to 100° C.

STEP 13

A secondary amine is alkylated by the Mannich reaction. The reaction proceeds in the same way as shown in the step 12. It is also possible that the secondary amine is used in the form of hydrochloric acid salt, not a free acid, to produce the compound (XXV).

The piperidine derivative obtained above can be converted to a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof by a conventional method.

The piperidine derivatives obtained according to the present invention prolong the refractory period by specifically prolonging the action potential duration to prevent arrhythmia without exerting any influence on the myocardiac conduction velocity. These derivatives are antiarrhythmic agents of Class III of the above-mentioned Vaughan-Williams classification.

The following experimental examples will further illustrate the effects of the compounds of the present invention.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 1 Effects on the action potential duration in the isolated myocardium of guinea-pigs

Right ventricular papillary muscles were isolated from male guinea-pigs of Hartley strain weighing 300 to 400 g and fixed at the bottom of an acrylic bath with pins. They were perfused with Tyrode solution kept at 37° C. and saturated with a mixture of 95% O₂ and 5% CO₂. The muscles were stimulated at 1 Hz with rectangular pulses of 1 msec duration and supramaximal voltage. Action potentials were recorded using conventional glass microelectrodes filled with 3M KCl. The duration of the action potential and the maximum velocity of the upstroke of the action potential (Vmax) were determined. Each of the test compounds was included in Tyrode solution at 10⁻⁶ or 10⁻⁵ M and perfused. The effects of the 10⁻⁶ M solution was observed for the first 10 min, then those of the 10⁻⁵ M solution were observed for another 10 min.

The results are shown in Table 1. The test compounds shown in Example 1 were as follows. Sotalol, a beta-adrenoceptor antagonist was employed as the reference drug because this compound is known to prolong the duration of the myocardial action potential.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 2 Effects on QTc-interval of ECG in anesthetized dogs

Mongrel dogs were anesthetized with enflurane. The chest was opened at the fifth intercosta and the pericardium was incised to expose the left ventricle. A monopolar electrode fixed on an acrylic plate was sutured to a ventricular surface of the region where the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery was dominant. The electrocardiogram was recorded from the surface of the left ventricle through the electrode. Test compounds were injected through a catheter inserted into a forearm vein.

Compound B caused a 51% prolongation of QTc-interval (i.e. from 435 to 665 msec) at 0.1 mg/kg. Compound G produced 17, 27 and 35% prolongation of QTc-interval at 0.1, 0.3 and 1 mg/kg, respectively. When the test compound J was injected at 0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg, QTc-interval was prolonged by 21 and 42%, respectively.

When the test compound L was used, the QTc prolongation of 31% with 0.1 mg/kg and 56% with 0.3 mg/kg thereof were recognized. When the test compound M was used, the QTc prolongation of 7% with 0.1 mg/kg, 13% with 0.3 mg/kg and 21% with 1.0 mg/kg thereof were recognized. When the test compound P was used, the QTc prolongation of 7% with 0.1 mg/kg and 14% with 0.3 mg/kg thereof were recognized. The administrations of 0.03 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg of the compound R were found to provide 13% prolongation and 21% prolongation of QTc-interval, respectively. As to the compound S, the administrations of 0.01 mg/kg and 0.03 mg/kg were found to provide 30% prolongation and 42%. With 1.0 mg/kg of Sotanol used as a control, 12% prolongation was observed.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 3 Acute toxicity in mice

Male ddy mice weighing 20 to 30 g were used for the acute toxicity test. LD50 values were calculated by the up-and-down method. The compounds G, J, M, N, O, R and sotalol were dissolved in saline to obtain 16 mg/ml stock solution. Administration of 0.1 ml of the solution to 10 g body weight of the animal corresponds to 160 mg/kg of the sample. The compounds B, F, L and S (the free body) were each dissolved in 20% polyethyleneglycol to obtain stock solutions having a concentration of 8 mg/ml. The dose to be administered was determined on the basis of the volume of the stock solution. The solutions were injected into a tail vein by means of a 1-ml tuberculin syringe. The judgement of survival or death was made 30 min after each injection. The results are shown in Table 2.

It is apparent from the above Experimental Examples 1 and 2 that the compounds of the present invention have the pharmacological properties required for the antiarrhythmic agents of Class III, namely the prolongation of the myocardial action potential in vitro without a significant depression of the Vmax and the prolongation of QTc-interval in anesthetized dogs. Moreover, their effects were much more potent than the reference drug, sotalol.

It is expected that the compounds of the present invention are effective in treating and preventing all types of arrhythmias including ventricular and atrial (supraventricular) arrhythmias. The compounds of the present invention are especially expected to control recurrent arrhythmias and prevent sudden death due to the ventricular fibrillation.

The compounds of the present invention can be used either orally or parenterally (intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous injection). The dose is not particularly limited, since it varies depending on the type of the arrhythmia, symptoms, age, condition and body weight of the patient. In case when used in combination with other drugs or treatments, it also depends on the kind, frequency and intended effects of the drug or the treatment. The usual oral dose for the adults dose is estimated to be 1 to 100 mg/day, preferably 5 to 50 mg/day and particularly 5 to 15 mg/day. The administration will be made once a day or more. In the case of injection, the dose is estimated to be 0.01 to 1 mg/kg, preferably 0.03 to 0.1 mg/kg.

The compound of the present invention can be given in the form of, for example, powders, finely divided particles, granules, tablets, capsules suppositories and injections. The preparations are produced by an ordinary process by using an ordinary carrier.

More particularly, for example, an oral solid preparation is produced by adding an excipient and, if necessary, a binder, disintegrator, lubricant, colorant, corrigent, etc. to the active ingredient and the mixture is shaped into tablets, coated tablets, granules, powder, capsules, etc.

Examples of the excipients include lactose, corn starch, white sugar, glucose, sorbitol, crystalline cellulose and silicon dioxide. Examples of the binders include polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl ethers, ethylcellulose, methylcellulose, acacia gum, tragacanth, gelatin, shellac, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylstarch and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Examples of the disintegrators include starch, agar, gelatin powder, crystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, calcium citrate, dextrin and pectin. Examples of the lubricants include magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol, silica and hardened vegetable oils. The colorants are those acceptable as additives for medicines. Examples of the corrigents include cocoa powder, menthol, aromatic acids, peppermint oil, borneol and cinnamon powder. As a matter of course, these tablets and granules may be coated suitably with sugar, gelatin or the like.

In the production of the injection, a pH adjustor, buffer, stabilizer, solubilizer, etc. are added, if necessary, to the active ingredient and an intravenous injection is produced by an ordinary method.

The following examples will further illustrate the present invention, which by no means limit the present invention.

The final step in the production of the intended compound of the present invention will be shown in the following examples and the production of the starting materials used in the examples will be shown in the folowing referential examples. ##STR24##
